Being induced tomorrow

Hey ladies so I was all booked to be induced Sunday (6th aug) due to slowed growth combined with reduced movement making me high risk. However it got cancelled due to how busy they were with higher priority cases, they wanted me to continue to have a growth scan that was already previously booked for today, growth has continued at steady pace but still tailing off. Saw a different consultant who wanted me to wait a few more days and continue to monitor by CTG daily. I said no I'm so stressed out now and anxious I've had steroid injections to bring on baby's lungs, been on monitors over the weekend and was all prepared for induction, I was told only 2 day's ago on the consultants advice that we should get baby out, her words were 'it's not looking very promising'. So I refused to wait, they agreed so I'm going in tomorrow to be induced.

Had to stand my ground, I've hardly slept with worry over the past 2 week's since all the concern began. Hope all you lovely ladies are ok and things are going well for you!
